Welcome to my pages

I’m a student of life, I see beauty in nature, in people. I like to document my discoveries by photo’s and through my paintings.

Imagination comes to my aid, when at loss of words. There is truth about the saying a picture tells you more than thousand words. Camera is a great way to capture a moment. A good picture does not only show the object of the photo, but also the emotion.

I draw with pastels, paint with oil, acrylics and watercolors. I have for the last three years been studying technic and expression… I have found that I paint emotions best with pastels, but I am learning other mediums to convey the same emotional impact.

I’ a work in progress. Hopefully never ready.

I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept.
Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going.
I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist.
If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work.
